I got this little guy from Love Phals with a few other orchids I purchased from her. She tossed him in free since he just wasn't very happy.

I stuck him in a small square pot with some sphagnum moss and some chunk fir and his little leaf has gotten bigger. My question is now what do I do with him? Does he want a small pot to grow in and I'm guessing I'll stick with the media. He's really come along since I brought all the orchids inside for the winter. He's under a 4 bulb T8 fixture with 4800K bulbs.

I'd keep it there. They grow slow. That pot will suit it fine for quite a while.

Psychopsis tend to bloom best after they fill their pot, whatever size it is. And they sometimes react badly to being repotted. He's set for a few years.

I agree. The plant looks happy and the pot is big enough for a while yet.

I agree with the above. They don't really like to be repotted often. I keep mine very moist. Yours looks a bit shriveled so might like a bit more water.
